Abstract

A new, improved method to define the random particle energy spectrum in tagged photon experiments is described. This procedure yields the random spectrum with very good statistical accuracy, and can be applied when no hard coincidence with the focal plane is required in order to accept events.

    The result is that the single-hit TDC is stopped too early, leading to a well-studied phenomenon known as stolen coincidences – see Fig. 5. Well-known methods [12,13] exist for determining the stolen-coincidence correction. It may also be efficiently addressed using the simulation approach detailed in Ref. [4] or greatly reduced by implementing multi-hit TDCs.
